The real criminal is the career CIA executive who divulged the info on Plame to a politician.

Zena, we can’t totally give up. At times, it does seem futile to continue, but we all need to encourage others to participate in the democratic process. And that’s democratic as in system, not party.
While it is true that the average American voter has no real clue as to who/what they are voting for, I really think that Duhbyas’ time in office has shown what happens when folks listen to sound bites and don’t look at the candidates past accomplishments and contributions to the political process.
The Democrat’s in office are just as guilty as the Shrub when they refuse to rein him in and make him follow the Constitution.
But that is because we allow so much money into the election process. All politician’s, good, bad, indifferent, feel they must do as their briber’s want, or the money will dry up.

Marshall, I didn’t ignore your post, I utterly discredited them.  An no, you did not cite or link to the Congressional record.

#84701 by Ernest Canning on 7/06 at 9:01 pm

So Ernest, let’s review: you say that no bipartisan Senate committees ever found that the administration didn’t manipulate the intel.  Then I show you two senate reports that found exactly that.  Then you ignore them (well, you try and discredit one of them) and continue to dish out various “he says she says” references that you think prove your point.

I think I’ve made my point here.

President Bush has the right to commute the sentence of Libby. Besides, “Birds of a feather flock together”. What did you expect him to do?
  The Valerie Plame issue is insignificant when compared to the damage the Bush/Cheney policy has done to our countries integrity. They created the False Flag event on September 11, 2001. Until the perpetrators of the World Trade Center attack are served subpoenas and brought to justice the other issues will not carry any clout.
    It was an inside job. (http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/september2005/120905insidejob.htm)
  “George W. Bush’s brother (Marvin Bush) was on the board of directors of a company providing electronic security for the World Trade Center, Dulles International Airport and United Airlines, according to public records. The company was backed by an investment firm, the Kuwait-American Corp., also linked for years to the Bush family,” according to Margie Burns.(http://www.commondreams.org/views03/0204-06.htm)
  America’s privacy rights, freedom of speech,voting rights, the loss of Habeus Corpus, the illegal war in Iraq, the circumventing of the Geneva Convention on torture have all been tampered with under the Bush administration.
  I am dismayed by the fact I can no longer delineate a Republican from a Democrat. They are both paid for by the corporate money-mongers. Even with a Democratic majority in the House and Senate there still is no movement toward Universal Health Care.
  The immigration policy is all screwed up. Job and service outsourcing has only weakened the American workers sense of well-being.
  “The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is an independent US Government agency responsible for providing national security intelligence to senior US policymakers.” (https://www.cia.gov/redirects/ciaredirect.html).
  Tenet was an honest leader for the CIA. I was not surprised by his resignation. However, he could have been more forthcoming to the American people instead of resigning. 
  The freeing of Libby does not change the fact that Vice President Cheney who is the one taking his orders from George Bush, Sr. should be the first to be impeached.
      Over 1 million Iraqis displaced by the war over oil rights and preferential business contracts and still the Bush administration pushes forward for modernizing our nuclear arsenal and pretending to pacify Americans with false hope.
  The best we can hope for is a reunification of our senate and house to stop the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act and all the war and torture that goes along with this total abuse of power.   
      Until our representatives step up and vote for impeachment this war of aggression will only expand.
      The Bush policy of “Divide and Conquer” will continue to work as long as Americans stay divided.

To my previous reponse to Marshall’s effort to deny that the Bush administration manipulated intelligence, I add—http://www.democracynow.org/print.pl?sid=07/05/01/1410229

where former CIA analyst Ray McGovern is asked to comment on George Tenet’s “At the Center of the Storm” in which Tenet accused “the White House of trying to shift blame to the CIA by falsely asserting that he told President Bush finding” WMD “would be a ‘slam dunk.’”

McGovern:  “Well, it is true, of course, that the war was started on false pretenses.  The intelligence was manipulated.  But what George Tenet doesn’t fess up to is that he was the manipulator-in-chief.  We have documentary evidence that George Tenet, for example, told his British opposite number on the 20th of July, 2002…that the intelligence was being fixed around the policy.  It doesn’t get any clearer than that.”

Commenting on Tenant’s quasi-denial of “slam dunk,” McGovern notes:  “What he says is, yeah, when he said ‘slam dunk,’ he didn’t mean that the evidence of [WMD] in Iraq was a slam dunk.  What he meant was that, ‘Mr. President, we can make a slam dunk case for popular consumption with the public and with the Congress out of this evidence.’  Now, he thinks that’s exculpatory?  I mean, that’s worse.  Where is it in the director of Central Intelligence’s…job description that he is to participate and help the President manipulate evidence in order to start a war that has no reason and that was completely unnecessary…?”

Marshall, I am just too tired and too cranky now to start listing the myriad of examples of how this administration did, precisely what the Downing Street Memo states it was doing—It fixed the facts and the intelligence around the policy.  But since we are dealing with the underlying facts that gave rise to Libby’s conviction, I really have to point to just one—the effort to assert that Saddam was seeking to acquire uranium from Niger, positively stated by the President himself, when, in truth both the CIA and Ambassador Wilson had already made it crystal clear that the entire assertion was rubbish and that the allegation was based on crude forgeries, just as the aluminum tubes allegation had been thoroughly trashed even before Condi Rice went on TV to tell the nation that we didn’t want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud.  Indeed, the reason Valerie Plame Wilson’s boss asked that her husband to come in was because Cheney was pressuring them to change their findings on this issue, and that amounts to manipulation of intelligence.

I could direct you to multiple books that documentthis administration’s “deliberate” deceptions about WMD, links to al Qaeda and links to 9/11, starting with that provided early on by the founder of this Web site, Robert Scheer, in “The Five Greatest Lies” and continuing through book after book, including those that make the substantial cases for impeachment and the revelations of former CIA analyst Ray McGovern of how a sitting Vice President made repeated personal visits to CIA, pressuring young analysist to tailor their assessments to what the administration desired.  Indeed, the modus operandi of this administration was revealed within a day of 9/11 when Bush, upon being told by this nation’s pre-eminent anti-terrorism expert, Richard Clarke, that there were no links between Iraq and 9/11, told Clarke to find one.  That, my right-wing friend, is a direct manipulation of the intelligence the president had personally received.

That there are still individuals like yourself attempting to deny that unassailable reality is not merely “beyond belief” but, to borrow a phrase from Prof. Norman Finkelstein, “beyond chutzpah.”

Finally, throughout the time Pat Roberts was the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee he refused to investigate this issue—that’s a fact!  Any comments by such a committee which has not investigated the evidence, bi partisan or otherwise, is worthless!

#84467 by Ernest Canning on 7/06 at 7:14 am

<<Marshall, no Congressional committee, bi-partisan or otherwise, found that there was no manipulation of pre-war intel.>>

Just not true, Ernest.  From bipartisan SIC report: “The Committee did not find any evidence that intelligence analysts changed their judgments as a result of political pressure…”

From Silberman-Robb Report: “The Commission found no evidence of political pressure to influence the Intelligence Community’s pre-war assessments of Iraq’s weapons programs.”

Lest you think I’m drawing from the words of Rush or something, here’s a factcheck.org link that provides a good summary, along with link to one of the two committee reports I mentioned.  You should really look them over:

http://www.factcheck.org/article358.html

http://www.gpoaccess.gov/serialset/creports/iraq.html

Perjury and obstruction of justice are obviously not crimes for members of the Republican party.  You only have to dig back to Richard M. Nixon and his pardon by Gerald R. Ford to see that.  While it would certainly be great to “water the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants” and we all know whose blood it would be, the simpler expedient of having Democratic candidates actually run unashamedly on the left of the political spectrum instead of modifying programs and appeasing the right or the christian fascists or whoever else, of having real Democrats instead of Republican cross-dressers, might give the mass of disaffected Americans something to actually vote for in the next election.

Frank G Sr:

You sound like an experienced and reasonable and well-meaning man! Yes, there is no doubt that you are older - but I’m no spring chicken, either

It was Thomas Jefferson who advocated the watering of the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants and patriots on a regular basis (every 20 years or so). We have at least 1 tyrant and we have enough patriots, I’m sure

With the passage of time, a government (or system of government) invariably becomes self-serving and entrenched. Sometimes, that government or system of government is seized by opportunists who want to use it to serve their own ends. That’s the situation we have right now. EXCEPT that those opportunists have not just seized the government and the political apparatus, they have seized the entire society! I say seized but a better word is infiltrated (seized surreptitiously) or infested (like by a deadly virus). Those opportunists are Zionists, Neocons (or whatever other label fits) and their stooges (Bush, for one). They promote the agenda of current Israeli leaders and that agenda is “Greater Israel” and a New World Order. The phony ‘War on Terror’ is their creation and subterfuge for seizing total control (Fascism) over the America we so love but that we can hardly recognize any more! You cannot defeat such insidious and criminal activity within existing, ‘legitimate’ channels. The systems of ‘checks and balances’ and laws have been subverted and/or destroyed! Can you imagine a president of the USA defending torture and ‘extraordinary rendition’ and committing other criminal and traitorous acts? - and changing the laws to suit himself?!

When Americans can again compete with cheap, foreign labor, many of us will be living out of garbage bins and roaming the streets! America’s economy and productive capacity has been intentionally and       systematically destroyed. Thank that Zionist Alan Greenspan and his Israeli masters for that!

Are you beginning to ‘get the picture’?

You can go to my website ( http://novalight.org ) and there you can SEE with your own eyes this piece of The Puzzle (and many others).

Even you may live to SEE astounding events unfold in the next few years - through 2012. It will be the most dramatic time in the history of the world. It’s pretty dramatic now, I would say!

You and I are coming to the end of our journey here, Frank, and while we may have been blind for many years, what’s important for us now is that we SEE! (what’s ahead of us). Can you SEE what I SEE!?

Marshall, no Congressional committee, bi-partisan or otherwise, found that there was no manipulation of pre-war intel.  During the entire time the Republicans controlled the Senate, there was a blanket refusal to examine that issue.  The case establishing that the facts and intelligence were fixed to match the policy is a compelling one, and none of your Rush Limbaugh inspired canards will overcome it.

Re: 84340 by GodSend on 7/05

You are quite right in your analysis, but perhaps wrong in the cure. You say it must be smashed and replaced. I say it can be repaired without having to repeat the whole damn process of 231 years to reach the level we are. I am old enough to remember America pre-civil rights movement. I lived through the Great Depression and the rise of unionism to the point of destruction of industry. I lived to see American production priced out of the world markets and our jobs and processes sent overseas to a lower cost market.

Thank you for your thoughtful comments. I believe you are younger than I.

We used to send tremendous amounts of foreign aid to prevent starvation in those third world countries. Now we send our jobs so they can compete with us. They do and we lose for a time. Eventually American labor will compete again with cheep foreign labor, by coming down to their level or they will come up to ours. Probably more likely a leveling out somewhere between union excesses and corporate greed. When world economy stabilizes, and corporations are reduced to practical levels of performance, international affairs will settle down to a steady roar, instead of sequential war.

I still believe that politics can be structured to reflect the will of the people under our constitution. My first moves would be to take away pork barrel politics and absolute pardon power of the president. Finally, the Supreme Court should be subject to voter ratification by a vote on all members every two years. We, the people, should have the capability to remove any court member by a majority vote of those moved to do so. A public venue should be provided for all campaigning. It should be a venue available to all candidates at no cost to them. No candidate should be allowed to run under a political party label with private, foreign, and corporate funding.

Though we give the birth date of America as 1776, the birthing process was much longer. Democracy has its roots in the soil of human reason and progress over thousands of years. Don’t cut the roots, water and fertilize the soil. Keep the weeds out and harvest the fruits of freedom and democracy in our time.

#84408 by Hondo on 7/05 at 10:56 pm

<<Why hasn’t Richard Armitage been indicted? I’m waiting in breathless anticipation!>>

Good question.  Probably due to politics (he’s not a member of the Administration so there’s little political gain).  Perhaps because there’s no evidence he knew Plame was with CIA so a conviction might be difficult.  But you’d need to ask Fitzgerald - he’s the one who made the choice.

#84146 by Fools on the Hill on 7/05 at 1:31 am

“Plamegate is about an illegal war for oil based on cherry picked and fabricated intelligence.  Wilson just happened to be the first to let the cat out of the bag.”

Tell that to the two bipartisan congressional committees that found no manipulation of the intelligence by the administration.

Frank G Sr:

It just goes to show you how much miscommunication can occur when labels are thrown around and their meaning has been subverted. ‘Christian’ used to mean a follower of Christ but that definition is no longer correct. A ‘Zionist Christian’ is a contradiction in terms - but they exist! Christians (real ones) and Zionists make strange bedfellows indeed. You can no longer tell the players without an up-to-the-minute scorecard! (or dictionary). Well, the Devil is the author of confusion and the present situation suits him just fine.

Join your cause to take the pardon away from the president and make those politician listen to their electorates? It sounds good (like impeaching Bush and Cheney and a few others) but it is naive to think that would actually work. Our political system has been broken beyond repair - and infiltrated by Zionists with their own agenda, promoting the interests of a foreign state - Israel (that’s treason). Presidential candidates are anointed (and funded) by the Israel Lobby, presidential elections are rigged, laws are violated by the president, laws are passed by a Congress who have not read what they are passing into law (Patriot Acts). The world you know no longer exists! The enemy is within the gates and the smell of Fascism (Zionist variety) is all around us. The world has passed you by while you were napping, Frank G Sr! What you advocate is a waste of time. We need a Constitutional Convention - or water the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants and patriots (Thomas Jefferson). Anyway, how could you let this happen???

You (the mysterious general you) talk about this country as if it were a separate entity called “This Country.”  We are this country and if we want to do something about the shitty state of affairs, then we will.  I mean for pity’s sake we had an American Revolution, a Civil War, World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and now Iraq (uh, er, the Bush War). We can do something about it.  We need a leader who will do something about it. We don’t need anarchy, we are too big and all hell would break loose. I don’t want to lose my country in trade for just another set of lunatics.  Frank Goodman, Sr. just exactly are you hoping we will do? And how do you propose we do it?

Re: 84187 by GodSend on 7/05

Of course, you jumped to a conclusion that is unwarranted by what I said. A ‘Christian Fascist’ is one who falsely claims to be a Christian. A Zionist Fascist one who claims to be a Jew. A political fascist is one who claims to be protecting our safety and personal rights from those who would take them away. All fascists use the unthinkable to attack the rights we promulgated in our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. BTW: An Islamofascist is one who would claim to be a Muslim. We have all of them. The Shinto Fascists of Japan and the ‘Christian’ fascist, Hitler, in Germany. And on and on and on.

Join me in my plea to take that power of the pardon away from the president in America. And stop nit-picking my use of ‘Christian’ fascist. I dare say that there are atheist fascists, agnostic fascists, and 7th Day Adventist fascists, as well as Roman Catholic fascists, and even Native American Fascists. Get off the BS and join the real battle for the minds of our elected officials. They are not our leaders, they are our public servants.  They are elected to carry out our will, not their own.

She’a got to go.

If Pelosi doesn’t get a set of balls soon, she’s got to go.  Those select voters in California can do this.

The only movement on impeachment will happen at the advent of HR333 hitting the floor for open, televised debate.

How much longer will the American public tolerate their will being ignored?

If I were a member of the Republican Party, I would be ashamed with the so-called leader of the free world. For years these damn Republicans cried and complained about the Democratic Party. Well, they have had their chance to change the country and they have f’ed up. Lying, deciet, untrustworthy, cheaters, corruption… What an embarassment! How can your party sleep at night.

I do not care what party you are from, if you are a liar you should be punished. Funny thing when my 14 year old walked up to me and said why the hell are you so strict about lying when it obviously pays off to be loyal? Can any member of the GOP answer me? Bennett? Where are you?

The commutation of the sentence has Karl Rove written all over it.  These racketeers can continue to avoid questions on the whole Plamegate issue by asserting that they will not comment on an ongoing criminal case since an appeal is pending.  The Predidential pardon will be forthcoming shortly before Bush leaves office when there’s no reason for the administration to answer questions about anything.  They play the MSM like a fiddle.

It is clear to many Americans that Libby kept quiet and kept the secrets about activities of Cheney and other associates, limiting further disclosures about the run-up to the invasion of Iraq and other matters.

His reward: the commutation of his prison sentence.

Unlike a few years ago, when Americans (at least some) respected and believed the Bush-Cheney gang, now, there is greater understanding of what we are dealing with. Food for thought in the article:

Any way, i jest want ta say if those commie fagot basturds want to take ma freedom away me and the missus will blow them all to hell.

God bles Gorge Bush and his fite for our fredom.

The problem is not ‘Christian Fascists’. The problem is Zionist Fascists (Zionazis is a fitting description), both Americans and Israelis. Those ‘Christian Fascists’ are NOT Christians, i.e., followers of Christ. This subtle attempt to shift guilt to ‘Christians’ is a deception by Zionists and their sympathizers. ‘Christians’ who do not recognize Zionists and Jews and the enemies of God and Christ (this is NOT new!) are not followers of Christ but fakes - just like Zionists are fake Jews!

Nice try, Mr. Goodman, Sr. but you’re barking up the wrong tree! Concentrate on the evil of Zionists who have infiltrated American politics and society and who control us through their agents in the Israel Lobby and MSM (Mainstream Media)! Bush is merely a front man for these Zionists and does their bidding (willingly, I might add). Perle, Feith, Abrams, Greenspan, Bernanke, Chertoff, Wolfowitz, Lieberman, Zakheim, Pipes and many others are all members of the ‘ISRAEL FIRST!’ Zionist web of deception. If you’re a Zionist (or perhaps a Jew), you know what I mean!

It is time to amend the law and the constitution to remove this power from the president. It has been abused more than it has been honored with the knowledge that it righted any wrong. I believe that it is too late for a constitutional convention to correct the defects in the constitution that have crept in to destroy some of the major democratic concepts. A few have been corrected over time, vis avis slavery and womens right to vote. The absolute power of the president to pardon any criminal is dangerous. It is more dangerous now than it ever was with the likes of George W. Bush in the seat. The fascists now have their Hitler’s weapon and could wield it to bring in the Christian Fascists described by Chris Hedges. It only takes one stroke of a pen to bring down the constitution. Must we be tolerant of the intolerant? Must we lie for the liars? Must we defend our own negligence by accepting as legitimate such a bold denial of democratic principles of law?

Just wondering, but, is there any law anywhere on the books that this administration is willing to obey?

It’s smoke and mirrors politics as usual. Only now technology (the Internet) lets the people (us) know the crap a lot sooner and we can vent (ala the TruthDig forum, et al) our frustrations and anger.  The pardon or ability to commute is a legal presidential granting power.  If the people don’t want it, then we have to get our congressmen/women to change the law.  The new ultra conservative Supreme court of late seems to have sided on issues anathema to many in the public. Libby’s conviction was going to be appealed to the Supreme Court, which then would have to make a ruling. Another blight against the Supreme Court on the side of Bush might be the last straw for a revolution in the country.  We know he has “political capital” and Bush knows how to play poker, let’s face it.  We have to do more than just complain and curse about it on a forum.  Any rational, workable suggestions?  Are there any better poker players out there?

I’m confused.

We know it was Armitage that initiated the leak - yet neither Sheer nor anyone else on these boards seems interested in pursuing that.  Instead, their anger is directed at a minor player who was never accused of anything related to the leak to begin with.  An investigation which ended without charges and with the finality of a declaration by its leader that no further investigating would take place.

All this makes even less sense (or more, depending on how you look at it) against the context of a Democratic president’s PARDONING of over a hundred convicted criminals including one FAR more guilty than Libby… without a peep.

Is this partisan politics or what!!!???

The corruption continues. Libby now has no reason to out Cheney or Bush for his role in outing Plame. No one is accountable for the Bush administration lies that got us into the Iraq war. The deaths of tens of thousands concern Bush less than Libby’s imprisonment. The victims of Hurricane Katrina are still waiting for Bush’s concern while he frees his loyal worker. What is the lesson learned? Well, in this life, who you know and who you serve is more important than need, charity or concern for the life and limb of a fellow human. In Bush’s world, don’t be born poor or be a citizen of a country with oil that Bush can covet. You might end up dead. But if you serve Bush or Cheney, no worry, mate.

To everyone who is as pissed as I am that Bush/Cheney are still in office, make sure you do a few simple things besides adding comments to sites like this one. As many others here have said, we the people have to do what our elected officials are too spineless to do. Luckily, that same spinelessness means politicians will always side with whatever a strong majority of their constituents want. So, if you haven’t already taken the steps below, please do so immediately:

1) Go to impeachbush.org and add your vote to impeach Bush/Cheney so the powers that be can see how many of us there are. And add a donation if you’re able to so they can place ads, etc. to keep the pressure to impeach going.
2) Contact your senator and your representative and let them know you expect them to get the impeachment process started and vote for impeachment of Bush/Cheney (and tell them if they don’t then they won’t get your vote next time around).
3) Participate in anti-war and pro-impeachment marches, either locally, or if you’re able to, in D.C. Nothing scares the powers that be more than seeing that the people really are rising up!
4) Pass steps 1-3 along to all of your friends, relatives, acquaintances, etc. and ask them to do the same if they care about this country.

Zelda, a far more likely scenario would be a new 9/11 followed by Bush declaring the national emergency, and then, bye-bye constitutional democracy.

Quote Robert Scheer: “.....Libby, who has been so liberated by certain of the nation’s top officials that he apparently breathes the same rarefied air—somewhere high above the law….”

Well, there you are…. breath-taking in all of its ludicrous hypocrisy…. the wondrous almighty glowing shrub in the wilderness of right-wing religious fundamentalism has spoken ....thus, again,  “let it be written, let it be done”!

Meanwhile, higher yet above the clouds, the next generation of evil-doers is singing “bomb, bomb .....bomb Iran”! Too bad that those people in Asia and Russia and Europe who generously lend the USA all of its money no longer see the same pathetically inept vision of the cowboys from the West.

Time is running out for a redundant regime and the future of the USA on the world stage is no longer quite so great or assured. People around the planet prefer a more equal law and are no longer willing to tolerate such drivel from outmoded aggressive regimes solely pre-occupied with their own self-righteous existence.

Global warming as well as the level playing field of true globalisation are dictating another set of imperatives and the USA needs to listen and to conform. Only co-operation on a global scale will save the human race. The alternative is a slide from prosperity into the inevitable consequences of the short-sighted selfishness of this regime and its corporate supporters.

This whole damn f_ck’n neo-fascist regime appears to be above the law.  These wing-nuts have been trying to turn the clock back 230 years to the British system of that time period in which King III was the “decider” and we had two distinct classes: The very small class of land-owning aristocrats and the peasant class which included everyone else.  We also had two seperate justice and economy systems: one for the ruling class and the other for everyone else.

Severe? Excessive?
The penalty imposed on the Amereican people in 2000 by the Supreme Court in appointing Bush President was severe and excessive.
This administration is killing time. They are obviously guilty of many many imprisonable crimes, more every day, but they don’t seem too concerned about that. They have an end game all worked out. If We don’t take the keys from these guys, like now, they’ll drive us right off a cliff to save their own skin. Wake up, folks.

Keith Olbermann makes a good case - but he fails to identify the true culprits! Bush is merely the front man for the Zionists and their supporters (of which he is the prime example and figurehead).

We will ALL know the real enemy (of America and humanity) when the perpetrators behind 9/11 are finally unveiled. We must get to the root of Evil, not just settle for the most obvious criminal(s).

When the Grand Depression hits full force (soon), we must look for Greenspan and Bernanke. The (Zionist) Matrix has been weaving its deadly web for far too long!

This is a very dark Independence Day with even darker days to follow as long as these criminals are still running the show.

Please watch Keith Olbermann’s “Special Comment” from last night’s show. He is amazing!

He says exactly what needed to be said.

Once again Mr. Bush has shown that he is the supreme decider. We can all breathe easier now that this matter is behind us. “Opposition” such as Nancy Pelosi will of course wring their hands and gripe meekly. But Nancy-impeachment off the table-Pelosi should really keep her mouth shut because she never had and will never have any intention of actually doing anything to counter the growing Bush dictatorship.

George and Scooter are only doing what they set out to do. There’s nothing surprising about their criminal activities or their thorough disdain for the laws that govern the rest of us. This has been the game plan from the first day George and Dick stole the election.

Repercussions? There are none. There is no opposition. Your vote is worthless. You can vote for the criminal or you can vote for the criminal enabler. No real difference.

Yesterday, on Democracy Now! Marcy Wheeler put the Libby commutation into perspective.

http://democracynow.org/print.pl?sid=07/07/03/1433207

Her remarks included:

“Well, we’re at the point now where it’s crystal clear:  the case that was made to bring us into war was completely fraudulent.  And at the time when a private citizen started making the case publicly to the American people, the Bush administration’s first response was to lash out, to break the law, to put the United States at further security risk….Valerie Wilson was out there on the front lines trying to prevent the poliferation of WMD, and Vice President Cheney decided to piss away that entire career just so that he could fight back against Joe Wilson’s claims that…the claim that Iraq was looking for uranium in Niger was bunk.”

Wheeler noted that “what kicked off the campaign into high gear against the Wilsons was that…on June 8, 2003, Condi Rice went on George Stephanopoulos’s show, and she got beat up because she claimed that nobody knew the Niger intelligence was false.  The next moring, first thing in Scooter Libby’s notes for the day was a note saying that Bush was concerned about these allegations….and then, come October, when Vice President Cheney was trying to get Bush to exonerate Scooter Libby, he actually wrote a note that basically said the President—and then he crossed out the President….asked Scooter Libby to put his neck in the meat grinder, basically to respond to Joe Wilson.”

So what we have is a President who may be up to his neck in a criminal conspiracy that entails not only the outing of a covert CIA officer, but making a fraudulent case for taking this country to war, providing a commutation of a sentence of a co-conspirator—a sentence that the prosecutors could have used as leverage to compel that co-conspirator (Libby) to finally come clean. 

Of course this is consistent with Bush family history.  George H. W. Bush pardoned Casper Weinberger, a man who could have implicated him in the criminal conspiracy known as Iran/Contra.  In “Plausible Denial” attorney Mark Lane, referencing Iran/Contra testimony observed that George H. W. “Bush routinely keeps a diary of plausible deniability, with the same skill employed by a crooked accountant who maintainst two sets of corporate books, one of them cooked.”

“Scooter” or Irving Libby knew where all the skeletons are in the Cheney and Bush closets, they had to get him off the hook.

Clinton got alot of political heat foremost for his pardoning of Marc Rich. (mossad banker) The law firm Libby was with in those days represented Rich.

Small world.

I suggest legislation that:

    1.  Public servants who are convicted of a felony must serve out their sentences

            or

    2.  If the U.S. president or a governor pardons or commutes the sentence of a public servant, then all civilians then serving time for similar convictions, i.e., obstruction of justice or whatever, across the board have their sentences commuted or are pardoned at the same time, no exceptions.

Perhaps the time has come?! “Something is in the air - the revolution’s here” Stay tuned (to the Internet Blogs, not the MSM!)

Anytime now, we will see the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Perhaps this disgraceful Libby pardon is it?! The Zionists and their stooges have seized our government, the Media, Academia, the Pentagon, the Movie Biz, the Think Tanks, etc. Sure feels like ‘The Matrix’, doesn’t it?! - or maybe “1984” has finally arrived? What to do?

From now on Mr. Fitzerald should wear a special bulletproop vest 24 hrs. a day!

Gas prices are deceptively down.  You don’t think for a moment that oil cartels and those in the oil business (including the Bush family, and ex-Enron executive Dick Cheney) will not let this moment be a lull?  I love double negatives…

What can the people do?  We can wear banners that say Libby the Felon! For one. And Impeach Bush/Impeach Cheney for another!  It needs to be kept in the forefront of American consciousness.  There is magic in repetition.  Obviously, Bush, Cheney, and Karl Rove know this in the spades they keep playing. Get after your Congressmen and don’t vote for the bastards that betray their constituencies.  Kick them out of office.  It’s a wee bit easier at the local level, ya know.

Trying to elevate the awareness of a population the size of America goes at glacial speed.  There is such conditioning at play, that repairing indoctrination and allowing opportunity for critical thinking to take place, then allowing more time for cognition to propel action, is simply not an easy task for wholesome change to happen.  For some odd reason, bad changes happen more easily in large bodies of people, maybe because we are a culture that loves horror films?

And by the way, Machan, what exactly did those 200 people do that Clinton pardoned or are you just blowing out of your a_ _?  The Libby the Felon thang is jes a wee bit differn’t, don’t you thank?

Pardon if this is a repeat performance (computer slug), but you do know my sentiments on repetition.

Why would Bush and thugs inc. be worried. As the dimmos take cover, and rule impeachment is off the books. Gas is down in price, beer is cheap, and the telly has more moron channels, the American dream is well and happy. Both parties groveling for votes and pandering to the corporation leaders, the threat of a third party is a muted voice. 9/11 worked wonders once, can another be far off? I’m sure the dimmos have a Haliburton type corp. that needs an infusion of funny money too. What’s a little blood in comparison to Corporation needs? In Washington no evil deed is punishable, and get out of jail cards are issued on a need-basis. Ford, Clinton and now Bush have all proved just how gullible we people are. If it worked 3 times why not keep using the same ploy? Instead of the mockery of pledging to uphold the constitution why not start off with ” Once upon a time” Americans just love fairy tales.

The crimes here are so immense, they defy comprehension.  Do we remember Bush saying the culprits will be punished?  Oops!  It’s Cheney!  Never mind! 

Nixon was a pussy (no offence girls…it’s the vernacular)!  These guys have balls!  No matter what else you may think…these guys have balls!!!!

So…what are you going to do?  Yeah, you heard me, what are you fuckin going to do?

Meg Ryan: I didn’t think so.

Tut tut. The “underlying crime” was not prosecuted because Fitzgerald was one of the DoJ attorneys NOT fired for political disloyalty. He was never going to make a case against ANYONE because the buck on this one stops only when you get to the oval office, and of course the moron, as usual, knew nothing about it before or after the fact.

The pity is that no one, including present company, is interested in the violations of the Ten Commandments by the Bushitter gang of thugs, to wit, coveting, lying, murdering, and stealing.

No underlying crime? Pish-tush. The underlying crime was committed by the Supreme(ly corrupt) Court when it installed the moron with a “one time” ruling that violated every principle of American democracy including the precious “states’ rights” which is supposed to define the conservative majority on that corrupt body.

Make no mistake about it: every single thing you see the Bushitter gang of thugs attempt is a crime against humanity.
